    My second time dining at the Bull Valley Roadhouse did not disappoint. I had the halibut - it was cooked to perfection. And the Sauvignon Blanc I had paired nicely with the entree. Kudos to a great dining experience!

    I had a wonderful experience at Bull Valley, starting with a lovely and attentive interaction with the host, to exceptional service from Jody and the entire support staff, expertly crafted cocktails and an I retesting spirit list, and delicious food, beautiful salad combination of strawberries, almonds, and balsamic over arugula, local honey butter with bread, Mac and cheese for days, snd grilled broccolini fill of sense memory of summer. I sat outside marveling at the majestic garden where a hummingbird joined me to dine on flower nectar. Thank you all so much!

    Always a great time! We sat out on the patio, which was lovely. The food was delicious and our server was super personable and on top of it. Our favorite spot in the East Bay 💓

    Great niche ambiance in a must try destination. My only issue is they were out of 50% of the menu when we tried to order. Food took forever to come out and the amazing, thought provoking drinks took FOREVER to come out. I am assuming maybe they were understaffed. I would go back but I would just plan on being there awhile.
